55 S Bergen Pl

A low-rise cooperative completed in 1962, this four-story midcentury residential building contains primarily one-bedroom units with occasional larger layouts and corner two-bedroom plans. The façade and massing are typical of suburban garden-coop developments from the era, with modest brickwork and regularly spaced balconies that bring light and private outdoor space to many apartments. Interiors reflect a mix of original and updated finishes: units commonly feature open living/dining plans, eat-in kitchens or efficiency kitchens, granite or quartz counters in renovated homes, hardwood floors, ceiling fans, and practical built-ins such as pantries and abundant closets. The building includes an elevator, a welcoming lobby, shared laundry rooms on each floor, storage and a bike room, and both free unassigned parking and an assigned covered-parking waitlist. Common systems have been refreshed over time (new elevator, electrical upgrades noted in listings). Pets—particularly cats—are generally accepted. Located in Freeport, the property sits within walking distance of transit (LIRR), retail, restaurants and waterfront attractions, offering straightforward access to highways and regional rail for commutes to Manhattan. Overall, the building emphasizes functional, well-maintained units, communal conveniences, and a neighborhood-oriented lifestyle rather than high-rise luxury services.
